With season seven wrapping up its last eight episodes later this year, viewers are preparing for the final farewells, but Sam’s recent reflections highlight just how intertwined his identity has become with his character.
As Outlander reaches its climactic finale, Sam’s role as the Highland warrior who falls in love with time-traveler Claire Randall, played by Caitriona Balfe, has etched itself into television history. Fans around the world have swooned over the duo’s chemistry and the show’s ability to whisk viewers between centuries of drama, love, and adventure.

And we fans can’t wait to see what comes next for this amazing man and the rest of the cast.”
Outside of Outlander, Sam has been keeping busy with other ventures. He continues to build his empire with Sassenach Spirits, his whisky and gin brand inspired by the affectionate nickname his character Jamie uses for Claire. Fans of Sam’s entrepreneurial side have already been buzzing about the delicious flavors of his Sassenach Gin, with one fan saying, “Btw, Sam didn’t mention his Sassenach gin, it’s delicious too.”
In between sipping whisky and perfecting his gin blends, Sam has been involved in several other projects. He recently portrayed Danny in the Channel 4 and Starz thriller The Couple Next Door, a performance that received rave reviews and sparked speculation about a possible second season.
While no official confirmation has been made, fans are certainly hopeful to see Sam in a variety of roles after his Outlander tenure concludes.
